is ready.  See discussion starting at

-The standard library's packaging infrastructure has been updated to adopt
-some of the features developed by the wider community.

-* the :mod:`venv` module and ``pyvenv`` script (inspired by ``virtualenv``)
-  (Note: at time of writing, :pep:`405` is accepted, but not yet implemented)
-* native support for package directories that don't require ``__init__.py``
-  marker files and can automatically span multiple path segments
-  (inspired by various third party approaches to namespace packages, as
-  described in :pep:`420`)

-packaging
----------
-
-:mod:`distutils` has undergone additions and refactoring under a new name,
-:mod:`packaging`, to allow developers to make far-reaching changes without
-being constrained by backward compatibility.
-:mod:`distutils` is still provided in the standard library, but users are
-encouraged to transition to :mod:`packaging`.  For older versions of Python, a
-backport compatible with Python 2.5 and newer and 3.2 is available on PyPI
-under the name `distutils2 <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Distutils2>`_.
